Can I damage my iPhone 13 Pro Max by pressing to hard on the screen with just my finger or thumb?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15
Almost certainly not. The iPhone 13 can take around several hundred Newtons of force before cracking, which is far beyond what a push with two fingers could do.
The only way for you to damage the screen with a finger would be if you were trying to do it deliberately. The display is very strong.
It's possible, but I can't imagine it from normal use.
It only takes a light touch to navigate the iPhone screen. What kind of damage are you speaking of.
